Hi, at the moment I can't start for the guilds, but I plan on starting with the masons guild as soon as I can, because it fits very nice into my story.

Lastly, as with any MOC, you must make sure that your builds have plenty of thought and effort put into them. This is about proving your skill, not racing to complete the tasks. For this reason, only two submissions will be accepted per month unless you have received special permission from the Guildmaster

Now my question is this rule counts for the first task of the masons guild too, because it is basicly the whole Moc again and again, 'just' changed the stone building. I will try to build as good as possible, but there are my holidays still left and with rainy wheater I can build a lot

Hi Sir Brick, I would say that you can use the overall same MOC base for building the stone structure however each stage of it should look a lot different on top of that base.For example,

The first one would be 'planning the build' so it could show the area being cleared of vegetation with workers surveying the area or something along those lines. -Basically no structure yet and area is either being cleared or is still natural looking

The second would be "in construction" so showing workers with supplies building up the structure with scaffolding around it, etc. on top of the area that was cleared/surveyed. -Basically half a structure with people working on it.

The third would be the "completed build" so you could show the structure being used for it's intended purpose, like a watchtower with guards in it and civilian passerby. (for an example) -Basically the finished structure

A III entry for the Heroes' Guild:

Swift justice

The chiding he received from the border guards still ringing in his ears (something about being a beardless youngster), Sithric followed the road north into Garheim. The carter had refused his help but had given him some perfunctory directions, saying that he might find some employment, or at least some better directions, at the inns along the way.

The roads became more foreboding as they weaved through the rocky valleys and Sithric took to staying to the peaks, rather than dropping into the blind corners of the pathway below. On the fifth day, he caught sight of some travellers in the road. From a distance it seemed like they were greeting an old friend, but it soon became obvious that it was not a jovial meeting. One of the men pushed another to the ground as another drew a knife.

Sithric didn't hesitate. In one breath he notched and loosed an arrow straight into the back of the knife-wielding bandit. The explosive grunt of the air being punched out of his lungs gave way to a terrified gurgle as he dropped to his knees. The other bandit stared in dumbfounded silence as his gaze moved first from his dying comrade to the archer on the hill. He half-drew his sword as a second arrow let fly. The merchant grinned.

Now my question is this rule counts for the first task of the masons guild too, because it is basicly the whole Moc again and again, 'just' changed the stone building.

Just to further add to what Jman44 said, the three builds should be significantly different from each other. Try to show different stages of activity in all three builds.

One of the best examples of this, in my opinion, can be found in Mitah's entries for the same category, the links for which can be found on the first page of this thread in the submitted entries list.

All of that said, we may consider allowing you to build a third entry in one month, but let's cross that bridge when we come to it. If nothing else, you can always photograph your third build and then post it after the first day of the following month.

Thanks. I understood that the building itself should be very different in very building, just the landsape, the thing I use the most time to build for, stays somehow the same. (Exept changes by the building in the landscape).I totally forgot the possibility to just take a picture and build something else, thanks!

Mages Apprentice III build - Success!

Show your mage succeeding at a magic feat.

Skeletons made for good practice - for just about anything. Sword practice, arrow targets, and magic. After all, this was the badlands of Roawia and there were many dead bodies of orcs, elves, humans, and many more. Gavin grunted as he struggled with the ropes that held the skeleton to the crossbar.Suddenly, the grisly white skeleton was ripped from it's right arm (which was still attached to the crossbar). Gavin grinned, and began spinnign the object all around. He had succeeded at his first magic feat without a staff!

My entry for the A1 challenge of the Assassins' Guild. "Hey... I know who you are. Hail Sithis." lol

-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-Awoken at Dawn-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-I awoke to the sound of birds chirping, a shaft of morning sun slanting through the tent flaps. I watched dust motes - and other particles, I suppose - as they hung in suspended animation above me. The morning air coming through the opening was cool, but my pile of sleeping furs was warm and I closed my eyes again... just for a second.Something was wrong. I hadn't heard it; not a twig snapping or the rustle of a leaf to mark his approach. I hadn't felt a rush of cold air as he slipped inside the tent. To be honest, I smelled it... well, smelled him. Onions... foul breath. I could smell his dinner from the night before and it snapped my eyes open just in time to catch the glint of sun on steel. With no time to find my sword or even a butter knife, I knew I had to act fast. I threw my forearm up and blocked his, stopping the dagger mere inches from my throat. I grabbed his wrist with one hand and wrenched the blade free with my other. Gathering my knees up to my chest, I kicked out at the smell until my feet connected with his chest with an "Oof!".I sprang up in an instant, whirling about in search of the assassin but he was already up and running, black cloth swishing as he ducked beneath the tent poles. I dove after him, heedless of my personal danger - not knowing what might lay just outside the tent.But all was as it had been. The aspens and birches sighed as the morning breeze picked up while birds continued to call to one another. My sister, Amura, slept soundly in the next tent, the rest of my men and Baelion's spread out beyond that through the glade. Once more I glimpsed the black of his cloak and I took off after him, this time noticing the deep blood red that accompanied it and adorned his sleeves and jerkin. He was Dark Brotherhood - a member of one of the sects of the fabled Assassins' Guild - and someone had hired him to kill me.He was too far, now. I hadn't had time to dress properly or to don even the simplest of boots, thinking myself safe within the jumble of nondescript pup tents, and he slipped away between the mossy boulders and ferns that lay beneath the quaking aspen glen, his feet making little more sound than a mouse's would have.

But I saw his face. I had seen it clearly above me as I tore the dagger from his hands - just as clearly as I had seen it the other day in Jahrton. He was a deckhand on the piers and quays of Jahrton Bay and it was there I knew he'd return, to hide amongst the rabble of pirates and thieves that frequented the place now, away from the watching eyes of the Usurper Queen. They held no allegiance to her or to the Jarl of Garheim and were more than happy to help for a bit of coin. I'll find out who this man is. I'll find out and I'll kill him.-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-Comments and critique are welcome! Ronin
